Hello, I am a newbie to using authz, and am trying to set it up for the first time. For reasons I don't understand, I can't seem to get it working.
I am using svnserve and fsfs, subversion 1.8.10 for both server and client for testing. My svnserve.conf setup is: anon-access = none password-db = passwd authz-db = authz Initial contents of my authz file (just trying to get *any* authz setup to work at this point): [/] * = rw With this setup, here is what my client says when I try to do an svn ls: $ svn ls svn://my_repos svn: E210002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://my_repos' svn: E210002: Network connection closed unexpectedly I have tried giving an absolute path to authz, checking it into the repository and giving a URL but the result is the same each time. As soon as I uncomment the authz-db line in svnserve.conf any access to the repo results in the above error. When I comment the authz-db line again, the problem goes away. The permissions, ownership, and location of my authz file match those of my passwd file, and svnserve is accessing the passwd file ok. Errors I see in my svnserve.log that *may* be related are: 28207 2016-02-03T18:31:50.113582Z xxx.xx.xx.xxx - - ERR - 0 210002 Network connection closed unexpectedly 28540 2016-02-03T18:50:55.871361Z xxx.xx.xx.xxx - - ERR - 0 104 Can't read from connection: Connection reset by peer But these only occurred rarely, and not each time I tried to access the repo and got the above client error. At this point I'm stuck. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Any suggestions on how I can debug this? Many thanks! Rick Varney
